The organization will be under the leadership of Edgar Varese and plans are being made to give four concerts the coming scason, the program tr consist entirely of manuscript works of modern writers. The executive committee includes Edgar Varese. Carlos Salzede, both known to be upltra-modern in their tendencies; Adam Gimbel, Benjamin F. Glazer, Maurice J. Speiser, Charles Recht, Mrs. William Shepherd. Mrs. Louise Norton, and Dr. Moritz Jagendorf. There will be three classes of mem- | bership—life, sustaining and asso- ciate. Composers who join become charter members, and no dues are levied upon them. The aim of . the guild is to centralize the works of | the day, to group them in programs | intelligently and organically con- | structed, and, with the disinterested help of singers and instrumentalists, to present these works in such a way as to reveal their fundamental spirit. With the incoming of remaining contingent of vacationists among the musicians have scattered .to the country. mountain and sea- shore, while those remaining, with few exceptions, are indulging in the midsummer lethargy. Among these exceptions is Willlam E. Bratha- walte, who rejoined the musical forces of Washington last winter after two years spent in Chicago. Mr. Bratha- waite will have charge of musical affairs at the Vermont Avenue Chris- tian Church, and if his present plans materialize, he promises to put that church on the musical map of Wash- ington next season. He has already organized a quartet of male voices, composed of Paul G. Ledig, first tenor: . E._ Brathawaite, second tenor; W. S. Haynie, first bass, and B. A. Lineback, second bass, which will supplement the work of a quartet of mixed voices, and in addition there will be a chorus of fifty volces, thirty-five members of which have al-) ready enrolled. With this aggrega- tion of talent, Mr. Brathawaite will be enabled to present compositions by the great masters of sacred song. At Calvary Methodist Church. George Harold Miller will again be in charge of choir matters, and Herman L. Amiss, who retired from the posi- tion of organist two vears ago on account of ill health. will resume his work there today. The position was filled successfully last season during Mr. Amiss’ absence by Victor Boeneau, a newcomer in Washington from Co- lumbus, Ohio. Richard P. Backing has been engaged as tenor of the quartet, which otherwise will consist of the same voices as last season— Mrs. Marle B. Deal, soprano; Mrs. Ger- trude Reuter Miller, mezzo contralto, and Mr. Miller as baritone and di- rector. The quartet will resume sing- ing the first Sunday in September and will be supplemented after October 1 by a large chorus, as in previous sea- sons.
